BRAND SPANKING NEW WTF? FAQ
Q. Inquiring minds want to know ... what the heck was Kelley Earnhardt Elledge doing in Myrtle Beach last with Pete Knight Racing driver Mark McFarland? They looked awful friendly in victory lane.
A. One thing is for sure, this wasn't a fly-by congratulatory hug between Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s big sister and the former JR Motorsports driver. Kelley also stood alongside Mark in the trophy photos.

I have no knowledge of a relationship between JRM and PKR that could immediately explain Kelley's presence ... but I suspect their "familiar" body language would have us speculating regardless--she's not just standing next to him, she's hugged up right on him. And the hand over the heart hug thingy ... uh, yeah ... I am woman. I be familiar.
Q. Hey, is she still Elledge, anyway? What is the status of Kelley and Jimmy's marriage?
A. Their marriage has been rumored to be on the rocks for several years--the presence or absence of their wedding rings something fans observe regularly. My sources allege that both of them openly see other people. Most recently, Jimmy is said to have taken another female companion to Junior's Whisky River opening.
